[QUOTE=redBadger;43491528]First 10 quoting this post get put into a random number generator to get a project spark beta key. Will draw sometime tomorrow afternoon or whenever 10 quote is hit[/QUOTE] Hello yes do want. Project Spark sounds incredible, though I'm curious to see exactly how it will pan out.
[QUOTE=redBadger;43491528]First 10 quoting this post get put into a random number generator to get a project spark beta key. Will draw sometime tomorrow afternoon or whenever 10 quote is hit[/QUOTE] Yea sure, why not.
[QUOTE=redBadger;43491528]First 10 quoting this post get put into a random number generator to get a project spark beta key. Will draw sometime tomorrow afternoon or whenever 10 quote is hit[/QUOTE] don't see why not
Project Spark has potential but it's sad to see the F2P elements.
What does the title mean? It's annoyed me for months. :v:

I really want to play Project Spark but it's one of the apps which force closes once opened.
I'm going to give it away soon so if you want in quote my last post. [editline]11th January 2014[/editline] LordCrypto - 1 Juniez - 2 Agent Fedora - 3 Cryomundus - 4 anthonywolfe - 5 Turnip -6 #2 was the winner from Random.org congrats I'll PM you with the key.
No need, I've got a key, just can't play it due to the issue above.
Still having wireless issues here on the home front, thinking about downgrading to Windows 7 and just throwing my copy of 8.1 onto my laptop (Apparently, wifi works fine on Macbooks). Anybody know the best way to go about that? I'd like to sort of preserve my files and programs, but I'm not sure how I could do that without just redownloading them. I'll probably be picking up a 1TB hybrid drive before I downgrade, so I can get the same sort of speed I do currently. Any advice?
Anyone know of the issue when your computer goes to sleep and when you try to revoke sleep mode it just doesn't do so, requiring you to restart? This is pretty annoying and it's never happened to me on Windows 7.
Anyone know of any good programs to get aero back to Windows 8.1? I found one but I had to donate otherwise it would bring a pop-up message every day and it was really annoying. [editline]19th January 2014[/editline] Oh and also is it possible to add a background of my choice to this screen where all of the grey bullshit is? I'm sick of it just being lame and monotone: [IMG_thumb]http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k55/lew-m-b06/Jan192014205012_zps41e2bb1b.png[/IMG_thumb]

For me when it happens (exact same symptom in Win7 and 8 actually), the computer is actually running (num lock works, etc), the display just never activates. I had something to do with the AMD drivers. Not exactly a fix, but at least you would know what's causing it.
[QUOTE=Panda X;43596437]That's the only one there is.[/QUOTE] Which one is that? I'd be interested.

[img]http://puu.sh/6ubgv.png[/img] Seriously? You can't post pone any update(s)? (Obv you can disable updates,duh)
Actually, it does. Your friend is just stupid.
It works kinda different - after three days of consecutive non-updating, the update will be installed automatically (if downloaded) when you shut down. I think it's a bit more advanced than that, but really you're getting a pretty fair warning. After a long period of warnings it will sometimes tell you to save your shit and let it update, but your friend must've acted pretty foolishly if he wasn't able to avoid that.
So apparently in 8.1.1 you'll be able to pin metro apps to the taskbar: [IMG]http://i.cubeupload.com/jdPwix.png[/IMG]

I hope they will let us add Add/Delete Programs to the start screen.
Typical MS, doing a brave thing after 20 years of same crap, then spending the next 4 OS versions backtracking on it.
